Episode 111: On Yoga, Systema, and Ancient Wisdom

August 07, 2020

This week, an unusual and enligthening diversion into ancient philosophies of life, health, and mind - comparing and constrasting the approaches of Systema and traditional yoga. Our guide, Systema Instructor, Yoga Instructor, and founder of Jiyu Movement Pasquale Antonio. Pas joined the ranks of NC SYSTEMA Instructors at the beginning of 2020, and his angles on Breathwork and Systema classes have made him an instant hit.

Here, we explore:



  • Modern vs traditional approaches to training
  • Tension, attitude, and authenticity in Yoga and Systema
  • Unifying concepts: 4 pillars, 8 limbs
  • The essential role of these philosophies in today's "knee jerk" society

I found this discussion fascinating and uplifting. I trust you will, too.
